GAS WORKS soUABBLE.
The Committee on Gas recommended:
Favorable consideration of the appli.
cation for franchise of Mosher, Quigley
ct al. for gas works and that the City
Attorney draft an ordinance without
reference to the site on which the pro-
posed works are to be erected.
Mr.. Frank Sabichi, under permission,
said that he was informed that the site
of the works had been selected and pur.
chased in the southern part of the city
and the citizens and property owners of
the vicinity desired to enter a deter.
mined protest against the ersstion of
the works on the proposed site. The
protest from citizens of San Pedro street
against the location of the works on that
street on the property formerly owned
by 8, j, Beck, was read. lu contained
26 signatures.
Mr.. Mosher, under permission, made
defense of his side of the question.
He showed by statistics that property
| in the vicinity of the Also street gas
works had increased largely in value
during the past five years. He said the
erection of the works would save the
citizens SAG, 800 per year in the price OF
gas and would establish o plant here
worth 1926, 900. The company would
take all chances on an injunction.
Mr.. John Goldsworthy said be was
interested, as his property was located
near the proposed works, and he would
consider that the erection OF the works
would depreciate the value Of his prop
erty fearfully. He would be almost
ruined. He said the works would in.
iure property from First to Alameda
streets, and from First to Washington
streets.
Mr.. Kuhrts moved that the matter be
referred back to the Committee on Gas.
Mr.. Frankenti eld raised the point that
franchise had been already granted to
this gas company. and asked what the
object of the present report was.
Mr.. Jones, chairman of the Gas Com
mittee said that the committee had Tor
COTTON that franchise had been granted.
Mr.. Mosher OF the Gas Company said
they had franchise, and their last peti-
tion asked that that they be allowed to
erect the works on San Pedro street.
The motion to refer back to the Com.
mittee on Gas was then adopted.
